Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A collection of assorted fixes:
- Fix for the pinned cr0/4 fallout which escaped all testing efforts
because the kvm-intel module was never loaded when the kernel was
compiled with CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n. The cr0/4 accessors are moved out
of line and static key is now solely used in the core code and
therefore can stay in the RO after init section. So the kvm-intel
and other modules do not longer reference the (read only) static
key which the module loader tried to update.
- Prevent an infinite loop in arch_stack_walk_user() by breaking out
of the loop once the return address is detected to be 0.
- Prevent the int3_emulate_call() selftest from corrupting the stack
when KASAN is enabled. KASASN clobbers more registers than covered
by the emulated call implementation. Convert the int3_magic()
selftest to a ASM function so the compiler cannot KASANify it.
- Unbreak the build with old GCC versions and with the Gold linker by
reverting the 'Move of _etext to the actual end of .text'. In both
cases the build fails with 'Invalid absolute R_X86_64_32S
relocation: _etext'
- Initialize the context lock for init_mm, which was never an issue
until the alternatives code started to use a temporary mm for
patching.
- Fix a build warning vs. the LOWMEM_PAGES constant where clang
complains rightfully about a signed integer overflow in the shift
operation by converting the operand to an ULL.
- Adjust the misnamed ENDPROC() of common_spurious in the 32bit entry
code"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
